Whatever the technic he uses, Thomas Lévy-Lasne exalts the gesture of painting, the traditional Fine Arts’ one. The artist adds a very specific iconography that doesn’t make you doubt on its contemporaneity. It is a super classical landscape in which surreptitiously appears a man in swimsuit using his cell phone. These are portraits of couples realized in the style of the classical pictural order but painted in firmly modern interiors. These are scenes of the 21st century parties but realized in watercolor, kind of old-fashioned technic; pencil drawings, developed beyond the idea of the sketch, with the imagery of pornographic websites.

Grown with the works by the masters of art history, Thomas Lévy-Lasne keeps learning through contact with masterpieces of the former centuries. His art is educated but not pretentious. He paints our modern world with humility, a brand new vision amused but not naïve.
